Dear Sir,—The efficiency of the teaching at this university is a subject people do not seem to question. The absence of criticism is most notable. It is not that people tend to be uncritical, for matters of foreign policy and the merits of the latest models of motor-cars seem to be a constant source of heated argument; is it then that we consider education a privilege and would not therefore look this gift-horse in the mouth? Such an attitude would, of course, be inconsistent with the spirit of enquiry.

We have a purpose here, we work towards a goal. We hope that our effort! here will in some way equip us for the various tasks that lie head.

After every single lecture, tutorial, we should be able to assess the ground covered towards this goal. Attending lectures merely because a 70 per cent. attendance is required for terms is waste of time which could probably be used more profitably otherwise.

We have a fair selection of books available to us, containing almost all the information we are likely to require; it is no longer the duty of the lecturer to provide us with all the factual information, it is the key to its unsorted mass that he should provide.
